Mark's 50 at 50 - Final 6 summits

Climbing Whiteless Pike from Sail Beck (Andy finished in 21:27 – arrival 15:17 - about the time this photo was taken).
From Robinson, we dropped down as quickly as possible; folk not keen on the kamikaze waterfall descent I’d planned, so we went slightly longer; no matter, we’re still good for 24 hours. Now for the final climb up Whiteless Pike. These final additional 6 summits added over 800m ascent, and about 2.5 extra miles, but with the benefit of only 3 miles on roads. We climbed well, and kept moving ahead of my schedule, then relaxing, laughing and joking about having enough time to stop at the pub at Swinside before Keswick.
